# Slated Phenolic Board Sunshades Odosdesign and Gandia Blasco Join on the Ensombra Sunshade By Amy Duong | Published 2025-03-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensombra References: [gandiablasco](https://www.gandiablasco.com/)  Odosdesign creates the Ensombra sunshade in collaboration with Spanish outdoor brand [Gandia Blasco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-furniture-collections). The two essentially elevate the Mediterranean Ensombra with additional seating paired with side tables. It is a [sun umbrella](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aghsan) at its core and it folds and unfolds similarly to a hand fan. The slats that form the shade is made from phenolic board which is light and simple to handle. The entire system is also streamlined without compromising the design, creating an adjustable amount of shade. The collaboration results in options that attach to the shade's pole -- it kicks off with the circular table made from the same material as the slats. The height is adjustable and can function as a low side table as well.
